There's a buzz in the air about some nifty bacteria known as probiotics. For those not in the know, probiotics contain the same friendly bacteria that reside in your intestinal tract. In other words, probiotics are good for you. My probiotic of choice is kefir, and of course I love yogurt, but this is the first time I've come across a probiotic bar like the Probiotic Wellness Bars from Attune Foods containing more than 5 times the live active cultures in yogurt.

Attune has created two different types of wellness bars--yogurt and granola and regular--and there are no less than 8 flavors including strawberry bliss, lemon crème, and mango peach yogurt and granola bars, and blueberry vanilla, cool mint chocolate, dark chocolate in the wellness bars, and…my two personal favorites, the wild berry yogurt and granola bar and the chocolate crisp wellness bar (better than a Nestlé Crunch!). Yum!

One obvious advantage to a probiotic bar like Attune is its portability. Sure I can carry around my bottle of kefir and chug it as I go, but it's much easier to pop an Attune wellness bar or two in my bag, hit the yoga mat, and pull out an Attune bar after class. For those counting calories, wellness bars are an even 100 calories and the granola version, also high in calcium and fiber, weighs in at 180 calories--a healthy choice for a meal on the go.
